BBOG activities are becoming worrisome and threat to public peace and order- IGP says
Inspector-General
of Police, Ibrahim Idris, says that the activity of the advocacy group, Bring
Back Our Girls, is becoming worrisome and is a threat to public peace and
order.
Idris said this against the backdrop of the recent standoff the group has had with security operatives during their March to the presidential villa in Abuja.

The IGP bared his mind when the National President of the National Council of Women Societies (NCWS), Gloria Shoda and other members of the Council executive paid him a visit at his office in Abuja.
“The police management
is aware of the agitation and the plight of parents of the abducted Chibok
schoolgirls and other civil groups. As parents ourselves, we sympathize with
them in these trying moments. Evidently, the government has invested huge
resources in ensuring that the girls are rescued and re-united with their
various families. However, the activities of the BringBackOurGirls group in
Abuja, the nation’s capital recently, are becoming worrisome and threat to
public peace and order. #BringBackOurGirls protagonists must understand that in
the exercise of their rights, they must not trample on other peoples’ rights
through over-dramatization of emotions, self-serving propaganda and disrespect
of public (office) holders. The police will not sit on the fence and watch such
a scenario unfold. The rights of law-abiding citizens must be protected within
the context of the law and we believe that enough is enough”.
